Tooth Form and Function in Temnospondyl Amphibians: Relationship of Shape to Applied Stress
Temnospondyl amphibians were important members of the tetrapod fauna and the terrestrial vertebrate food chain during the Paleozoic and early Mesozoic. The “labyrinthodont” teeth of these amphibians are not simple cones; they exhibit an overall tooth form that is relatively complex and generally conserved over large temporal and phylogenetic ranges. We assess the functional morphology of these ...
متن کاملTriassic Vertebrate Fossils in Arizona
The Triassic System in Arizona has yielded numerous world-class fossil specimens, including numerous type specimens. The oldest Triassic vertebrates from Arizona are footprints and (largely) temnospondyl bones from the Nonesian (Early Triassic: Spathian) Wupatki Member of the Moenkopi Formation. The Perovkan (early Anisian) faunas of the Holbrook Member of the Moenkopi Formation are exceptional...
متن کاملGlobal Triassic Tetrapod Biostratigraphy and Biochronology: 2007 Status
The global Triassic timescale based on tetrapod biochronology remains a robust tool for both global and regional age assignment and correlation. The Lootsbergian and Nonesian land-vertebrate faunachrons (LVFs) are of Early Triassic age; cross correlation of part of the Lootsbergian to the Olenekian and all or part of the Nonesian to the Anisian lacks support. In the South African Karoo basin, b...
متن کاملSynchrotron Reveals Early Triassic Odd Couple: Injured Amphibian and Aestivating Therapsid Share Burrow
Fossorialism is a beneficial adaptation for brooding, predator avoidance and protection from extreme climate. The abundance of fossilised burrow casts from the Early Triassic of southern Africa is viewed as a behavioural response by many tetrapods to the harsh conditions following the Permo-Triassic mass-extinction event. However, scarcity of vertebrate remains associated with these burrows lea...
متن کاملA trematosauroid temnospondyl from the Middle Triassic of Jordan
Phylogenetic hypotheses, biogeographic dispersal models, and evolutionary scenarios are difficult to form but easy to reject: a single fossil may be sufficient. Previously neglected or inaccessible regions bear high potential for the discovery of such fossils, because they shed light on new faunas with unorthodox combinations of taxa, and sometimes reveal representatives of clades that were not...
